Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, 64, and his partner had split up. Is the American singer really single again?

UPDATE 12/01/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Mustaine spotted alone

A fan spotted Dave Mustaine walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 10, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Dave back on the market?

A rep for Dave Mustaine was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Sunday (January 11), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Dave’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Mustaine spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
